The South Dakota Colorectal Cancer Control Program (SD CRCCP) uses a collaborative and coordinated approach between public health, communities and health care systems to implement cancer prevention and control activities to reduce the burden of colorectal cancer in South Dakota communities. The SD BCCEDP is committed to providing stakeholders with an annual evaluation report demonstrating the effectiveness and impact of the program. Program evaluation over the 5-year grant period aims to: (a) examine the extent to which the program reaches targeted goals of improving education and access to screening, particularly among low-income and uninsured individuals, (b) monitor program outcome indicators, including number of individuals served and ultimately, rates of breast and cervical cancer screening in SD, (c) guide and assist program staff in continuous program improvement and (d) disseminate successes and best practices so these efforts can be applied in similar settings within and beyond the state’s borders.

The five-year funding cycle is focused on increasing appropriate breast and cervical cancer screening services through provision of cancer screenings, eliminating barriers and implementing key evidence-based strategies. The South Dakota Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (SD BCCEDP) implements cancer prevention and control activities to reduce the burden of breast and cervical cancer in South Dakota.
